Disclaimer: The prophylactic use of dressings in reducing the risk of medical device related pressure injuries is well reported, however their use under PPE in terms of maintenance of a seal and potential impact on viral transmission has not been tested by Mölnlycke or others to our knowledge.

Select the dressing size appropriate to cover the affected area and cut to customise around unique patient needs/body contours or device shapes. Apply adherent side to skin.
